Thing is, if we're talking "ancient Scots" meaning Celtic culture, the Romans commented that the Celts of Gaul and of Britannia shared language and culture.
Which means woollen cloaks and trews and linen shirts.
We have some ancient Irish clothing from bogs and the tailoring is sophisticated.
As far as written accounts, these are catalogued in Old Irish & Highland Dress.
The earliest is 1093 which mentions "short tunics and upper garments" but bare-legged.
Next we leap to 1470! When the dress is a shirt dyed with saffron, a "mantle", and once again bare-legged. In war a chain mail shirt is worn. "Wild Scots" are said to fight it "a linen garment manifoldly sewn/pleated/quilted (the exact meaning of the Latin is unsure), daubed with pitch, with a covering of deerskin."
This might "be similar to the padded acton worn as armour both in Ireland and in the Highlands".
"The practice in the Highlands of smearing clothes with tar or grease is mentioned by other writers, and was a crude kind of waterproofing."
The next mention is 1538, a list of the elements of a Highland outfit made for King James V.
